Safety Information
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for
the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the
signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the
existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to
prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical
potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,
telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.

Gathering Tools and Documentation
To install the drive, you need the following items:
vA flat-blade screwdriver
vYour system unit documentation, including any service documentation
vYour operating system documentation
Planning Your SCSI Device Layout
SCSI devices include such hardware as disk drives, tape drives, CD-ROM drives,
DVD-RAM drives, scanners, and printers. Some SCSI devices can be connected to or
installed inside your system unit, while others can be installed externally. The devices
are attached, in a daisy-chain configuration, to a SCSI adapter installed inside the
system unit.
Each device in the chain has a unique SCSI address (also called a SCSI ID). When
you connect more than one SCSI device, it is important that you plan the location and
address of each device in the chain. You must also be sure to connect a terminator at
each end of the chain. If you are using an internally connected device, the SCSI
adapter provides the termination for that end. The last attached device must terminate
the other end of the chain.
If your configuration includes both internal and external devices, you must connect a
terminator to the last external device and terminate the internal SCSI cable. The
adapter terminates one end of the chain, and the last device terminates the other end.
Determining Your SCSI Device Address
Before you install the 4.7GB SCSI-2 DVD-RAM Drive, you must set the SCSI address
on the drive. First, you must determine which SCSI addresses are available to use.
Then you choose an address and install jumpers on the drive to set the selected
address. You can use any available SCSI address as long as no two SCSI devices on
the same chain use the same address. No device can use address 7, which is reserved
for the SCSI adapter.
SCSI addresses are in sequential order from highest to lowest priority. Refer to Table 1
below for the priority associated with each SCSI address. For optimum performance,
choose the highest unused SCSI address between 6 and 0.
Note: Use only SCSI addresses 6 through 0 for this device.

↓3
↓2
↓1
Lowest Priority 0
To find an available SCSI address on an AIX system, do the following:
1. At a system prompt, type:
lsdev -Cs scsi
Press Enter. Information similar to the following displays:
hdisk1 Available 00-01-00-1,0 1.0 GB SCSI Disk Drive
This information is interpreted as follows:
Column 1: device name (hdisk1)
Column 2: device status (Available)
Column 3: SCSI information (00-01-00-1,0)
Column 4: device type (1.0 GB SCSI Disk Drive)
In this example, the SCSI address for the device name (
hdisk1 ) is 1 as shown in
the 1,0 portion of the string in column 3. The 0in the 1,0 portion of the string is the
SCSI bus number for that device.
2. Find an available SCSI address for the DVD-RAM drive and choose the
highest-priority unused address for yours. On Table 1, record the address you chose
for your DVD-RAM drive, as well as the names and addresses of any other installed
SCSI devices. Save this information for future reference.
Setting the SCSI Address
After you choose an available SCSI address for your DVD-RAM drive, you can install
the jumpers on the drive to match the selected address. The SCSI address can be set
from 0 to 6. Address 7 is reserved for the adapter. The 4.7GB SCSI-2 DVD-RAM Drive
SCSI address is factory-set at 4. Refer to “Determining Your SCSI Device Address” on
page 4 if you need instructions for selecting another SCSI address.
To set a SCSI address, you install jumpers onto pin positions 2, 3, and/or 4, located on
the jumper block, to set each position to
On or Off . (See Table 2 on page 6 below.) To
set a position to On, insert a jumper onto both the top and bottom pins. To set a
position to Off, insert the jumper onto the top pin only.
Note: Jumpers are also installed in other positions on the jumper block to enable or
disable other functions.
Refer to the figure on page 7 and to Table 2 on page 6 below as you go through the
following steps to set the SCSI address on this drive:
Chapter 2. Preparing to Install the 4.7GB SCSI-2 DVD-RAM Drive 5

Attention: Be sure to read “Handling the 4.7GB SCSI-2 DVD-RAM Drive” on page vii
before you begin.
1. Remove the drive from its bag.
2. Place the drive on top of the bag on a flat surface.
3. Refer to the figure on page 7. Locate pin positions 2,3, and 4on the drive. They
are the first three positions on the left side of the jumper block as you view the drive
from the back. The SCSI address is factory-set to 4.
4. Using Table 2 below as your guide, install jumpers in the correct positions to set the
SCSI address you previously chose.
Table 2. SCSI Address Settings
SCSI Address Position 2 Position 3 Position 4
0 Off Off Off
1OnOffOff
2 Off On Off
3OnOnOff
4OffOffOn
5OnOffOn
6 Off On On
5. Make sure the jumper on position 1is set to Off. This position does not enable or
disable any function, and can be used as a spare jumper.
6. The jumper in position 5should be set to Off. This position does not enable or
disable any function, and can be used as a spare jumper.
7. Make sure the jumper in position 6is set to Off. This disables the drive’s internal
terminator power. Terminator power is provided by the system through the SCSI
cable.
8. The jumper in position 7should be set to Off. This position does not enable or
disable any function, and can be used as a spare jumper.
You can remove spare jumpers and store them in a safe place or install them in the Off
position on any unused pin position.
